I recently flashed a rom, but forgot to clear the data, now im stuck in a boot loop, the google boot logo pops up then restarts and loops over and over i cant get into the recovery screen with the volume/power buttons, any idea what i need to do?
Hold power button down for 15 seconds. At that point the phone should be completely off. Now hold the power and the volume down and you should get you into recovery

press and hold the power button for at least ten-15 seconds if it goes off then push the vol down and button at the same time when the lg logo pops up release both buttons and immediately press them both again and you should get back into recovery it might take you a few goes but it should do it - if that doesn't do it try above youll get there in the end

when i try that, it goes right back to the google/4 colors screen and resets itself over and over....
what recovery do you have installed? although the process is the same, it might take a few goes but it will get into it, following the methods already mentioned

Help......my Tab is having problem....it always restart....i cannot reset the factory data .Is that anyway to take out the battery to reset all data?anyone try b4???
Closed.................
how you resolve it?
can you share it?
i have same issue too
Start with your tab turned off. Then it's either, Hold Volume Up + Power Button at the same time or it's hold Volume Down + Power Button at the same time. One will boot you into fastboot, the other way will boot you into the stock recovery. You want recovery. You will know its right cause you will see an upside down triangle. Then hit i think it was search button or one of the volume buttons to get a menu to pop up. Highlight factory reset and hit the power button. If you boot into fastboot mode and not recovery, the screen will be black and will say please load OS or whatever. Just hold down power button to power off and try the other way.
Bear with me if directions are a little off. Gave my wife my tab months ago so I haven't had to do that in awhile

In Developer options, enable the Advanced Reboot.
The 3 button combo will work, it's just a matter of timing. Remove and replace the battery, hold vol up + home, then power, holding all three, and when it vibrates, let go of power only.
You could also hook up in USB Debugging mode and issue the command:
adb reboot recovery
And if you don't have a developer option go into about phone and tap build number 7 times.

Some people, including myself, cannot get it to work with the standard procedure...the solution is to basically do it twice. Here's a copy/paste of the instructions:
Long press the power button and choose "power off". Give your phone a few seconds to turn off completely. Once it's off, press and hold these 3 buttons at the same time: POWER+VOLUME UP+HOME. Look at the top left of the screen - as soon as you see little blue text saying entering recovery, let go of all buttons immediately...but be ready...if your phone vibrates (it might be trying to reboot normally again), press and hold those same buttons again until you see the blue text again...then let go immediately. Now you will see your recovery!

Cool
CWM recovery only requires you to push the volume up key and then press the power key until the phone vibrates and then let go of the power button only. When the blue lettering appears, let go of the volume up. The home button should only be required with TWRP.

Whatever the reason, that is not the case with my phone and many others. I've read several threads of people having the same issue. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the OUDHS CWM w/ auto-loki or what.
I've never heard of letting go of the power button only while still pressing volume up, but I gave it a try just to see...it did get me into CWM recovery but only after doing it twice, similar to the method I wrote above.
I have tried letting go of both volume up and power (no pressing home at all) and never found a way to get into recovery.
Anyways, it seems there's no harm in pressing the home button either way and it's probably easier than letting go of the power button and still holding volume up...and easier to explain too lol.

My minor issue is that when I boot to recovery (twrp) it get to the twrp splash screen then freeze. Takes me another reboot or two before recovery really launches.
Tried reinstalling recovery and fixing permission, etc.. but same deal. Anyone have thoughts on this?
I boot into recovery all the time but I have to hold volume up and home button.
Bump!
I'm having the same issue. What I did was that I had the CWM recovery installed and tried to reset the flash counter. Now the phone won't boot into the recovery, it just boots up as usual when I press vol up+home+power up. I appreciate any help! :/

Can you get the blue text in the upper left corner of the screen to appear at any time?
In my case, trying to get into recovery via the 3 buttons is a matter of very precise timing if I try pressing all 3 buttons at the same time. The instant I see the blue text I let go of everything and it works. Hold it for even a fraction of a second longer and the blue disappears and it goes into a normal boot. It works much better if I press Vol Up, then add Power, then add Home. I'm doing that sequence fairly quickly but the point is I'm not trying to press 3 buttons at the exact same time.
But I'm using CWM so I don't need the 3rd button...
From a powered-down state I hold Vol Up then Power and hold both through the vibration until the blue text appears and it goes into CWM recovery just fine. There seems to be a bit more leeway in terms of how fast you need to let go this way although I just tested and holding about a half second too long caused it to bounce out of recovery and do a normal boot. Let go immediately when you see the blue.
Phone won't boot..
So after using CASUAL, my phone rebooted, and got stuck on the splash screen with RECOVERY BOOTING.. in the top left corner. I pull the battery, try to do a normal reboot; takes me to the same screen. Trying the 3 button combo for recovery; same thing. Any suggestions?? I am NOT on MF3 Firmware.
**EDIT** Should have looked into it more before posting, but Found my solution returning to STOCK
im having the same problem.. i rebooted using ROM MANAGER and the android with red exclamation mark appeared... when i hold de buttons, there are blue letters, but the recovery mode dont work, just the android recovery...

Hi,
Power OFF your phone then:
HOW TO ENTER RECOVERY
Method 1: Hold the power button + volume down button until the LG image appears. Once it does let go of the buttons then immediately push and hold them again until recovery boots.
NOTE: The method above will arrive at the "hard reset" area, but when choosing hard reset, it will take you to CWM (without actually resetting).

Thank You, what a fiddly process!! Now restoring from backup.
^obviously doesn't understand that you cannot power your phone down properly..
Lg is a little tricky.. But.. In order to hard power down, you must hold the power button until you see the phone power off, but don't let go or it will reboot. Keep holding the power button until you see the lg logo and it will then power down completely.
To get to recovery, hold vol down+power until you see the recovery mode loading. You will see the lg splash screen first but just keeping holding the buttons.. No need to let go and then try pressing them again as the post above me stated...

Are you sure it doesn't actually reset? I'm curious ... because Ive got TWRP and just to avoid that I always reboot into recovery from the rom ... and I've just been scared whenever I see that white screen
I can't for the life of me figure out how to boot into TWRP... I followed the how-to on the cyanogenmod wiki hoping that it would work, and I've tried googling this, but I can't figure it out. Cyanogenmod's wiki says hold the power and volume down simultaneously, then click them both when the LG screen shows, then click the power button three times. I've done this about ten times with no luck. I need to boot into twrp to install gapps as I've just flashed a rom on my G2.
Hold Power and Volume Down buttons and when LG screen shows, release them for half a second and press them again. It should show screen for factory reset. Go for it pressing Power button. It will take you to recovery...

I had the same problem and what I have to do is power the phone off, then hold the volume down button and power button at the same time, when the lg screen pops up release the volume down button while keeping the power button pressed. A splash screen will pop up and it will say entering recovery mode. It will then boot into recovery.

Power + Volume down or Volume up? I've always had to use volume up but I guess I can try volume down next time.
With the method I put it has to be volume down. I couldn't get the traditional methods to work for me.

Be sure to turn of the phone completly by holding the power button untill it starts to reboot. You will see the lg logo for a short while. After that do the volume down + power button. When you see the lg logo let go and press (and hold) volume down and power button again. Now you should be prompt to press the power button three times to reset the phone. This will take you to the recovery and let you restor your backup if you have made one.
Hope this will help you.
I ran into this same problem not too long ago. The best way to get your phone back working is trying to get into download mode and reflashing pure stock.
Just hold down the power button, even when it tries to boot up. Keep holding after the second vibration where it tries to boot up again. Then, if the screen stays black, your phone is fully off.
Then follow the instructions on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I had the exact problem and I installed LGMobile Support Tool. It will flash stock recovery + stock system. Once the program complete you'll need to hold the volume down + power button. When you see the lg logo let go and press (and hold) volume down and power button again. Now you should be prompt to press the power button three times to reset the phone. Then will start up CWM recovery and will return you to stock.

Most likely your phone has the D80010o firmware, downgrade to D80010d and you shouldn't have that issue you've described in the OP.
